vintage pink & green 

 

flavor board #29 ~ inspired by the colors of rosetta apples

room, pink & green flowers, vintage green bench, vintage green & pink glass stands (ours!), pink & green flower, buttons, apple, fabric journal

We have a cute little apple tree in our yard.  I'll never forget first bitting into an apple from the tree 2 years ago...it was pink inside ~ I thought it was a miracle!  Turns out they are called Rosetta Apples.  The pink insides are like a pretty suprise!  They taste amazing - very tart, but with just the right amount of sweetness.  I'm completely inspired by the colors, which lead to putting together the above flavor board.  And, since the apples are ripe, I had to turn them into a cupcake flavor this week.  I wish the cupcakes naturally came out pink & green, but since it didn't, I rested them on some pink & green vintage glass stands :)

Apple Butter Chardonnay...chardonnay cake, filled with house-made apple butter, topped with vanilla frosting & dusted with cinnamon and sugar.

Making apple butter is truly a labor of love.  It takes several hours (all of which require attention).  I hope you can taste the love inside these cupcakes.
